Profile Review – CAT 2027

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some guidance regarding my CAT profile.

Academics: 9/9/9
Education: Integrated M.Tech in CSE, specialization in Data Science from VIT vellore
Work Experience: 13 months as of the CAT 2027 application deadline (Assistant professor at a private university)
Category: NC-OBC
Gender: Male
Background: Engineering

Based on this profile, what CAT percentile should I realistically target for calls from IIM BLACKI?

I understand that the final shortlist depends on the individual institute’s selection criteria, sectional percentiles, work experience, academic diversity, and other factors. I’m mainly looking for an approximate percentile range I should aim for to have a reasonable chance at BLACKI calls.

Any insights from people with similar profiles or knowledge of the current IIM selection criteria would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
